<summary>
Appender that logs to a database.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
<see cref="T:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender"/> appends logging events to a table within a
database. The appender can be configured to specify the connection
string by setting the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.ConnectionString"/> property.
The connection type (provider) can be specified by setting the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.ConnectionType"/>
property. For more information on database connection strings for
your specific database see <a href="http://www.connectionstrings.com/">http://www.connectionstrings.com/</a>.
</para>
<para>
Records are written into the database either using a prepared
statement or a stored procedure. The <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.CommandType"/> property
is set to <see cref="F:System.Data.CommandType.Text"/> (<c>System.Data.CommandType.Text</c>) to specify a prepared statement
or to <see cref="F:System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure"/> (<c>System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure</c>) to specify a stored
procedure.
</para>
<para>
The prepared statement text or the name of the stored procedure
must be set in the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.CommandText"/> property.
</para>
<para>
The prepared statement or stored procedure can take a number
of parameters. Parameters are added using the <see cref="M:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender.AddParameter(log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppenderParameter)"/>
method. This adds a single <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppenderParameter"/> to the
ordered list of parameters. The <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppenderParameter"/>
type may be subclassed if required to provide database specific
functionality. The <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppenderParameter"/> specifies
the parameter name, database type, size, and how the value should
be generated using a <see cref="T:log4net.Layout.ILayout"/>.

<member name="T:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton">
<summary>
Abstract base class implementation of <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.IAppender"/> that
buffers events in a fixed size buffer.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This base class should be used by appenders that need to buffer a
number of events before logging them. For example the <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.AdoNetAppender"/>
buffers events and then submits the entire contents of the buffer to
the underlying database in one go.
</para>
<para>
Subclasses should override the <see cref="M:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.SendBuffer(log4net.Core.LoggingEvent[])"/>
method to deliver the buffered events.
</para>
<para>The BufferingAppenderSkeleton maintains a fixed size cyclic
buffer of events. The size of the buffer is set using
the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.BufferSize"/> property.
</para>
<para>A <see cref="T:log4net.Core.ITriggeringEventEvaluator"/> is used to inspect
each event as it arrives in the appender. If the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Evaluator"/>
triggers, then the current buffer is sent immediately
(see <see cref="M:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.SendBuffer(log4net.Core.LoggingEvent[])"/>). Otherwise the event
is stored in the buffer. For example, an evaluator can be used to
deliver the events immediately when an ERROR event arrives.
</para>
<para>
The buffering appender can be configured in a <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Lossy"/> mode.
By default the appender is NOT lossy. When the buffer is full all
the buffered events are sent with <see cref="M:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.SendBuffer(log4net.Core.LoggingEvent[])"/>.
If the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Lossy"/> property is set to <c>true</c> then the
buffer will not be sent when it is full, and new events arriving
in the appender will overwrite the oldest event in the buffer.
In lossy mode the buffer will only be sent when the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.BufferingAppenderSkeleton.Evaluator"/>
triggers. This can be useful behavior when you need to know about
ERROR events but not about events with a lower level, configure an
evaluator that will trigger when an ERROR event arrives, the whole
buffer will be sent which gives a history of events leading up to
the ERROR event.

<member name="T:log4net.Appender.AnsiColorTerminalAppender">
<summary>
Appends logging events to the terminal using ANSI color escape sequences.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
AnsiColorTerminalAppender appends log events to the standard output stream
or the error output stream using a layout specified by the
user. It also allows the color of a specific level of message to be set.
</para>
<note>
This appender expects the terminal to understand the VT100 control set
in order to interpret the color codes. If the terminal or console does not
understand the control codes the behavior is not defined.
</note>
<para>
By default, all output is written to the console's standard output stream.
The <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.AnsiColorTerminalAppender.Target"/> property can be set to direct the output to the
error stream.
</para>
<para>
NOTE: This appender writes each message to the <c>System.Console.Out</c> or
<c>System.Console.Error</c> that is set at the time the event is appended.
Therefore it is possible to programmatically redirect the output of this appender
(for example NUnit does this to capture program output). While this is the desired
behavior of this appender it may have security implications in your application.
</para>
<para>
When configuring the ANSI colored terminal appender, a mapping should be
specified to map a logging level to a color. For example:
</para>
<code lang="XML" escaped="true">
<mapping>
<level value="ERROR"/>
<foreColor value="White"/>
<backColor value="Red"/>
<attributes value="Bright,Underscore"/>
</mapping>
<mapping>
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<backColor value="Green"/>
</mapping>
</code>
<para>
The Level is the standard log4net logging level and ForeColor and BackColor can be any
of the following values:
<list type="bullet">
<item><term>Blue</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Green</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Red</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>White</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Yellow</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Purple</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Cyan</term><description></description></item>
</list>
These color values cannot be combined together to make new colors.
</para>
<para>
The attributes can be any combination of the following:
<list type="bullet">
<item><term>Bright</term><description>foreground is brighter</description></item>
<item><term>Dim</term><description>foreground is dimmer</description></item>
<item><term>Underscore</term><description>message is underlined</description></item>
<item><term>Blink</term><description>foreground is blinking (does not work on all terminals)</description></item>
<item><term>Reverse</term><description>foreground and background are reversed</description></item>
<item><term>Hidden</term><description>output is hidden</description></item>
<item><term>Strikethrough</term><description>message has a line through it</description></item>
</list>
While any of these attributes may be combined together not all combinations
work well together, for example setting both <i>Bright</i> and <i>Dim</i> attributes makes
no sense.

<summary>
Appends logging events to the console.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
ColoredConsoleAppender appends log events to the standard output stream
or the error output stream using a layout specified by the
user. It also allows the color of a specific type of message to be set.
</para>
<para>
By default, all output is written to the console's standard output stream.
The <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.ColoredConsoleAppender.Target"/> property can be set to direct the output to the
error stream.
</para>
<para>
NOTE: This appender writes directly to the application's attached console
not to the <c>System.Console.Out</c> or <c>System.Console.Error</c> <c>TextWriter</c>.
The <c>System.Console.Out</c> and <c>System.Console.Error</c> streams can be
programmatically redirected (for example NUnit does this to capture program output).
This appender will ignore these redirections because it needs to use Win32
API calls to colorize the output. To respect these redirections the <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender"/>
must be used.
</para>
<para>
When configuring the colored console appender, mapping should be
specified to map a logging level to a color. For example:
</para>
<code lang="XML" escaped="true">
<mapping>
<level value="ERROR"/>
<foreColor value="White"/>
<backColor value="Red, HighIntensity"/>
</mapping>
<mapping>
<level value="DEBUG"/>
<backColor value="Green"/>
</mapping>
</code>
<para>
The Level is the standard log4net logging level and ForeColor and BackColor can be any
combination of the following values:
<list type="bullet">
<item><term>Blue</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Green</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Red</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>White</term><description></description></item>
<item><term>Yellow</term><description></description></item>

<para>
ConsoleAppender appends log events to the standard output stream

<para>
NOTE: This appender writes each message to the <c>System.Console.Out</c> or
<c>System.Console.Error</c> that is set at the time the event is appended.
Therefore it is possible to programmatically redirect the output of this appender
(for example NUnit does this to capture program output). While this is the desired
behavior of this appender it may have security implications in your application.

Immediate flush means that the underlying writer or output stream

<para>
Immediate flush is slower but ensures that each append request is

<remarks>
<para>The default behavior is to flush at the end of each

</para>
<para>
Avoiding the flush operation at the end of each append results
in a performance gain of 10 to 20 percent. However, there is safety
trade-off involved in skipping flushing. Indeed, when flushing is
skipped, then it is likely that the last few log events will not
be recorded on disk when the application exits. This is a high
price to pay even for a 20% performance gain.

<summary>
Immediate flush means that the underlying <see cref="T:System.IO.TextWriter"/>

</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
Immediate flush is slower but ensures that each append request is
actually written. If <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.TextWriterAppender.ImmediateFlush"/> is set to
<c>false</c>, then there is a good chance that the last few
logging events are not actually persisted if and when the application
crashes.

<summary>
Gets or set whether the appender will flush at the end

</summary>
<value>
<para>
The default behavior is to flush at the end of each
append operation.
</para>
<para>
If this option is set to <c>false</c>, then the underlying

</para>
</value>
<remarks>
Avoiding the flush operation at the end of each append results in
a performance gain of 10 to 20 percent. However, there is safety
trade-off involved in skipping flushing. Indeed, when flushing is
skipped, then it is likely that the last few log events will not
be recorded on disk when the application exits. This is a high
price to pay even for a 20% performance gain.

Logs events to a remote syslog daemon.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
The BSD syslog protocol is used to remotely log to
a syslog daemon. The syslogd listens for for messages
on UDP port 514.
</para>
<para>
The syslog UDP protocol is not authenticated. Most syslog daemons
do not accept remote log messages because of the security implications.
You may be able to use the LocalSyslogAppender to talk to a local
syslog service.
</para>
<para>
There is an RFC 3164 that claims to document the BSD Syslog Protocol.
This RFC can be seen here: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3164.html.
This appender generates what the RFC calls an "Original Device Message",
i.e. does not include the TIMESTAMP or HOSTNAME fields. By observation
this format of message will be accepted by all current syslog daemon
implementations. The daemon will attach the current time and the source
hostname or IP address to any messages received.
</para>
<para>
Syslog messages must have a facility and and a severity. The severity
is derived from the Level of the logging event.
The facility must be chosen from the set of defined syslog
<see cref="T:log4net.Appender.RemoteSyslogAppender.SyslogFacility"/> values. The facilities list is predefined
and cannot be extended.
</para>
<para>
An identifier is specified with each log message. This can be specified
by setting the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RemoteSyslogAppender.Identity"/> property. The identity (also know
as the tag) must not contain white space. The default value for the
identity is the application name (from <see cref="P:log4net.Core.LoggingEvent.Domain"/>).

<para>
Multicast addresses are identified by IP class <b>D</b> addresses (in the range 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255). Multicast packets can pass across different networks through routers, so
it is possible to use multicasts in an Internet scenario as long as your network provider
supports multicasting.
</para>
<para>
Hosts that want to receive particular multicast messages must register their interest by joining
the multicast group. Multicast messages are not sent to networks where no host has joined
the multicast group. Class <b>D</b> IP addresses are used for multicast groups, to differentiate
them from normal host addresses, allowing nodes to easily detect if a message is of interest.
</para>

Static multicast addresses that are needed globally are assigned by IANA. A few examples are listed in the table below:

<para>
The address range 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is reserved for administrative scope-relative

<summary>
Delivers logging events to a remote logging sink.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This Appender is designed to deliver events to a remote sink.
That is any object that implements the <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.RemotingAppender.IRemoteLoggingSink"/>
interface. It delivers the events using .NET remoting. The
object to deliver events to is specified by setting the
appenders <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RemotingAppender.Sink"/> property.</para>
<para>
The RemotingAppender buffers events before sending them. This allows it to
make more efficient use of the remoting infrastructure.</para>
<para>
Once the buffer is full the events are still not sent immediately.
They are scheduled to be sent using a pool thread. The effect is that
the send occurs asynchronously. This is very important for a
number of non obvious reasons. The remoting infrastructure will
flow thread local variables (stored in the <see cref="T:System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext"/>),
if they are marked as <see cref="T:System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.ILogicalThreadAffinative"/>, across the
remoting boundary. If the server is not contactable then
the remoting infrastructure will clear the <see cref="T:System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.ILogicalThreadAffinative"/>
objects from the <see cref="T:System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext"/>. To prevent a logging failure from
having side effects on the calling application the remoting call must be made
from a separate thread to the one used by the application. A <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadPool"/>
thread is used for this. If no <see cref="T:System.Threading.ThreadPool"/> thread is available then
the events will block in the thread pool manager until a thread is available.</para>
<para>
Because the events are sent asynchronously using pool threads it is possible to close
this appender before all the queued events have been sent.
When closing the appender attempts to wait until all the queued events have been sent, but
this will timeout after 30 seconds regardless.</para>
<para>
If this appender is being closed because the <see cref="E:System.AppDomain.ProcessExit"/>
event has fired it may not be possible to send all the queued events. During process
exit the runtime limits the time that a <see cref="E:System.AppDomain.ProcessExit"/>
event handler is allowed to run for. If the runtime terminates the threads before
the queued events have been sent then they will be lost. To ensure that all events
are sent the appender must be closed before the application exits. See
<see cref="M:log4net.Core.LoggerManager.Shutdown"/> for details on how to shutdown
log4net programmatically.</para>

<summary>
Appender that rolls log files based on size or date or both.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
RollingFileAppender can roll log files based on size or date or both
depending on the setting of the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.RollingStyle"/> property.
When set to <see cref="F:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.RollingMode.Size"/> the log file will be rolled
once its size exceeds the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.MaximumFileSize"/>.
When set to <see cref="F:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.RollingMode.Date"/> the log file will be rolled
once the date boundary specified in the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.DatePattern"/> property
is crossed.
When set to <see cref="F:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.RollingMode.Composite"/> the log file will be
rolled once the date boundary specified in the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.DatePattern"/> property
is crossed, but within a date boundary the file will also be rolled
once its size exceeds the <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.MaximumFileSize"/>.
When set to <see cref="F:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.RollingMode.Once"/> the log file will be rolled when
the appender is configured. This effectively means that the log file can be
rolled once per program execution.
</para>
<para>
A of few additional optional features have been added:
<list type="bullet">
<item>Attach date pattern for current log file <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.StaticLogFileName"/></item>
<item>Backup number increments for newer files <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.CountDirection"/></item>
<item>Infinite number of backups by file size <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.MaxSizeRollBackups"/></item>
</list>
</para>
<note>
<para>
For large or infinite numbers of backup files a <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.CountDirection"/>
greater than zero is highly recommended, otherwise all the backup files need
to be renamed each time a new backup is created.
</para>
<para>
When Date/Time based rolling is used setting <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.StaticLogFileName"/>
to <see langword="true"/> will reduce the number of file renamings to few or none.
</para>
</note>
<note type="caution">
<para>
Changing <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.StaticLogFileName"/> or <see cref="P:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.CountDirection"/> without clearing
the log file directory of backup files will cause unexpected and unwanted side effects.
</para>
</note>
<para>
If Date/Time based rolling is enabled this appender will attempt to roll existing files
in the directory without a Date/Time tag based on the last write date of the base log file.
The appender only rolls the log file when a message is logged. If Date/Time based rolling
is enabled then the appender will not roll the log file at the Date/Time boundary but
at the point when the next message is logged after the boundary has been crossed.
</para>
<para>
The <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"/> extends the <see cref="T:log4net.Appender.FileAppender"/> and
has the same behavior when opening the log file.
The appender will first try to open the file for writing when <see cref="M:log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender.ActivateOptions"/>
is called. This will typically be during configuration.
If the file cannot be opened for writing the appender will attempt
to open the file again each time a message is logged to the appender.
If the file cannot be opened for writing when a message is logged then
the message will be discarded by this appender.
</para>
<para>
When rolling a backup file necessitates deleting an older backup file the
file to be deleted is moved to a temporary name before being deleted.
</para>
<note type="caution">
<para>
A maximum number of backup files when rolling on date/time boundaries is not supported.

Immediate flush is slower but ensures that each append request is

<remarks>
<para>The default behavior is to flush at the end of each

stream can defer writing to physical medium to a later time.
</para>
<para>
Avoiding the flush operation at the end of each append results
in a performance gain of 10 to 20 percent. However, there is safety
trade-off involved in skipping flushing. Indeed, when flushing is
skipped, then it is likely that the last few log events will not
be recorded on disk when the application exits. This is a high
price to pay even for a 20% performance gain.

If neither of the <see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFile"/> or <see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFileExtension"/>

If set the <see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFile"/> property takes priority over the
<see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFileExtension"/> property. The <see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFile"/> property
specifies a path to a file to load the config from. The path is relative to the
application's base directory; <see cref="P:System.AppDomain.BaseDirectory"/>.
The <see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFileExtension"/> property is used as a postfix to the assembly file name.
The config file must be located in the application's base directory; <see cref="P:System.AppDomain.BaseDirectory"/>.
For example in a console application setting the <see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFileExtension"/> to
<c>config</c> has the same effect as not specifying the <see cref="P:log4net.Config.XmlConfiguratorAttribute.ConfigFile"/> or

</para>
<note>
<para>
Log4net will only look for assembly level configuration attributes once.
When using the log4net assembly level attributes to control the configuration
of log4net you must ensure that the first call to any of the
<see cref="T:log4net.Core.LoggerManager"/> methods is made from the assembly with the configuration
attributes.
</para>
<para>
If you cannot guarantee the order in which log4net calls will be made from
different assemblies you must use programmatic configuration instead, i.e.
call the <see cref="M:log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure"/> method directly.

<summary>
The internal representation of caller location information.
</summary>
<remarks>
<para>
This class uses the <c>System.Diagnostics.StackTrace</c> class to generate
a call stack. The caller's information is then extracted from this stack.
</para>
<para>
The <c>System.Diagnostics.StackTrace</c> class is not supported on the
.NET Compact Framework 1.0 therefore caller location information is not
available on that framework.
</para>
<para>
The <c>System.Diagnostics.StackTrace</c> class has this to say about Release builds:
</para>
<para>
"StackTrace information will be most informative with Debug build configurations.
By default, Debug builds include debug symbols, while Release builds do not. The
debug symbols contain most of the file, method name, line number, and column
information used in constructing StackFrame and StackTrace objects. StackTrace
might not report as many method calls as expected, due to code transformations
that occur during optimization."
</para>
<para>
This means that in a Release build the caller information may be incomplete or may
not exist at all! Therefore caller location information cannot be relied upon in a Release build.

This needs to be in a separate method because the events make

To improve performance, we could cache the string representation of

<para>
This function is intended to lessen the computational cost of
disabled log debug statements.
</para>
<para> For some ILog interface <c>log</c>, when you write:</para>
<code lang="C#">
log.Debug("This is entry number: " + i );
</code>
<para>
You incur the cost constructing the message, string construction and concatenation in
this case, regardless of whether the message is logged or not.
</para>
<para>
If you are worried about speed (who isn't), then you should write:
</para>
<code lang="C#">
if (log.IsDebugEnabled)
{
log.Debug("This is entry number: " + i );
}
</code>
<para>
This way you will not incur the cost of parameter
construction if debugging is disabled for <c>log</c>. On
the other hand, if the <c>log</c> is debug enabled, you
will incur the cost of evaluating whether the logger is debug
enabled twice. Once in <see cref="P:log4net.ILog.IsDebugEnabled"/> and once in
the <see cref="M:log4net.ILog.Debug(System.Object)"/>. This is an insignificant overhead
since evaluating a logger takes about 1% of the time it
takes to actually log. This is the preferred style of logging.
</para>
<para>Alternatively if your logger is available statically then the is debug
enabled state can be stored in a static variable like this:
</para>
<code lang="C#">
private static readonly bool isDebugEnabled = log.IsDebugEnabled;
</code>
<para>
Then when you come to log you can write:
</para>
<code lang="C#">
if (isDebugEnabled)
{
log.Debug("This is entry number: " + i );
}
</code>
<para>
This way the debug enabled state is only queried once
when the class is loaded. Using a <c>private static readonly</c>
variable is the most efficient because it is a run time constant
and can be heavily optimized by the JIT compiler.
</para>
<para>
Of course if you use a static readonly variable to
hold the enabled state of the logger then you cannot
change the enabled state at runtime to vary the logging
that is produced. You have to decide if you need absolute
speed or runtime flexibility.

<para>
For some <c>log</c> Logger object, when you write:
</para>
<code lang="C#">
log.Debug("This is entry number: " + i );
</code>
<para>
You incur the cost constructing the message, concatenation in
this case, regardless of whether the message is logged or not.
</para>

If you are worried about speed, then you should write:
</para>
<code lang="C#">
if (log.IsDebugEnabled())

}
</code>
<para>
This way you will not incur the cost of parameter
construction if debugging is disabled for <c>log</c>. On
the other hand, if the <c>log</c> is debug enabled, you
will incur the cost of evaluating whether the logger is debug
enabled twice. Once in <c>IsDebugEnabled</c> and once in
the <c>Debug</c>. This is an insignificant overhead
since evaluating a logger takes about 1% of the time it
